Earliest and Latest Known Usages of Cancellations and Registration Stamps on the Hong Kong ‘China’ Overprints

I have managed to go through the major references in this area to try to prepare a listing of the earliest and latest known usages of cancels from the various Ports but have yet to get up to State College and go through the past issues of the various Hong Kong study groups literature. Previous studies have concentrated on the earliest usage of a particular cancel, not that cancel on a 'China' overprint. I am attempting to find earliest usages on the overprinted items, so please let me know any dates you may have. To the best of my knowledge, the following dates are valid. If you know of any errors or have updates, I would truly appreciate being informed.

(Dates listed have been obtained from various sources and are simply earliest and latest known usages of different cancels. There is no guarantee that these cancels have been used on ‘China’ overprints, although the latest known usages are most probably on the overprinted items as they were the only items in use in the Treaty Ports at that time.)
